Why should I care about exercising?

One of the critical pillars of a healthy lifestyle is regular exercise. Yes, what you eat matters and yes, how you feel emotionally is important, but exercise is a key component to total body health. Without exercise you will not achieve your healthiest you.

Exercise improves your mood and helps you feel better. It helps you sleep. It helps to control your weight (even if you eat an optimal diet you still need to exercise to lose any significant weight). Exercise delivers oxygen to your tissues – this can help give you more energy. The more active you are, the better your heart and lungs work. A healthy heart and lungs can contribute to a longer life.

With all these benefits, it’s easy to see why exercise is critical. This month, we’ll be talking about not just why we should exercise, but how to exercise. I’ll introduce easy and fun ways to increase your exercise levels. Just what you need to live a healthier and happier life.

Join me this Thursday at 12:30 EST on Facebook for a live video where I’ll share 3 easy ways moms can sneak in more exercise as well as a terrific way to use Peppermint (our essential oil of the month).

In the meantime, want to get started exercising a bit more? Go out your front door (take the kids and dogs if needed), walk for ten minutes, turn around and walk home. Repeat every day this week.

How do you struggle with exercise? Share in the comments and I’ll be sure to address your issues at some point this month!
